7 Nothing is free in life

-When the time comes my name and that of the others will come out naturally. Until then don't worry Rulieh-

-What ... what was that..so ..-

Fear, terror and panic. Something that she had left buried in a heartbreaking past came to light like a corpse surfacing after several days. A feeling that disgusted him. He trained to resist, to be tough in the face of losses and the hostile environment, thus he ended up being known as a cold and ruthless man. But this left him unsettled, the creature in front of him was anything but something to play with, worse than death itself, it was something that came out of logic and common sense. An unscrupulous being that seemed to amuse himself with the chaos generated around him.

The atmosphere went from being a battlefield to being a friendly meeting, the air became lighter and as if nothing had ever happened to be continuous with the chat.

-As for why I call you Rulieh, that's because it's your original name. Yithra among the many avatars of her, granted it to you believing that you could with the burden of keeping the Sleeper sealed, as long as you are in neutral-

-I don't understand, who is Yithra and what is that shit from neutral? -

-Yithra is one of us, she took human form to be able to deliver the closing legacy to someone who has not been contaminated, that is, you who is not part of any of the worlds since you were purified at some point before being born. In a few words you were neutralized, to tell the truth it was difficult for her to find the vessel. It took a long time and almost failed.-

-What is so funny-

-Hehe .. nothing just remembered why all this happened. It would practically be their fault for being close to that damn-

-My teacher, she ... about that damn he was who ..-

-You're smart, he completely ruined all the available multiverses, rather it would be better to say that he extinguished them, he spends his time traveling looking for the Sleeper and his stars to take their power and in the meantime, he kills everything around him... a pure god-

-The bastard is crazy. Because they brought me here, if they are gods, do something, liquidate it or take me out of this world and problem solved-

-Ahhh, quiet comrade, it doesn't work like that. Hopefully we could but the gods do not intervene in the worlds, if they did everything it would collapse, since the multiverses would not support the accumulation of exorbitant energies in a single point, so we divided simultaneously or we take avatars to reach those universes but that reduce action power to more than half, and everything slows down. And in your case we cannot take you out of your current plane and move you another planet because of the Sleeper, if we do, he would wake up and it would be double the problems. You don't want that do...right?

-But that damn could-

-Yes and no. The cause that there are no lesser gods is because he he he has devoured them. As it did with your original world, but it is not omnipotent, every time it jumps from one world to another it loses part of its power and has to start from scratch, that takes a few centuries until it stabilizes. And it just so happens that it is halfway in your current world-

-That means that this world is not ...-

-Do not. This is a universe parallel to yours, in reality there are infinities but there is only one Sleeper, which means that we have to move to sit from time to time to avoid the end of that world. When we located you we had to transfer your essential energy to a compatible avatar as urgently as possible since your world would be extinguished two days later.-

-My effort would have been in vain anyway, what the fuck-

-Right. Well at least you already know something. You had to be aware and before I forget you came to ask for something-

-Yes, I needed a contract to regain my magic and warlord attribute because the one I had no longer exists-

-Magic? Hehehe ... oh my ... I'm sorry I'll explain there is no such thing, it bothers me that what they call magic is nothing other than the energetic essence inherent in each being, it is what keeps them alive and moves the universe same. Do planets and stars move by magic? No, that energy in some is stronger and in others it is hardly visible. The better control you have, the higher the level of use you can give it. Those people use energy to throw fireballs or wet plants, pathetic. If you control it to such an extent you can make things move by themselves or create them out of nothing, don't be like them, please, it's annoying ... what did Yithra teach you? -

-Okay, you just gave me a kick in the ass with that, what she taught me was the 4 laws of matter and with all that I could only materialize weapons with magi ... I mean essence.-

-Did you enjoy it? Surely yes, you know I will grant you a privilege not as a follower but as a favor for those who keep the Sleeper trapped, would you like to? -

-This contains ulterior motives, nothing is free, I know that better than anyone-

-I won't be so wicked with someone like you, I'm just an emissary-

-What do you offer? Thanatos gave me complete freedom by unlocking my essence, I was able to reformulate matter into weapons and defense shields from nowhere as well as being able to travel between the realm of the living and the dead at will-

-Well I'll give you something much better than that! And if I told you that you could not only do what you were doing but also that you could change your physical form, shape the matter at will, come to this dimension to train if you like and I will also give you another surprise gift.-

-I would say it sounds too good to be true-

Squinting, Railey looks at the being with suspicion and doubt. Although without thinking much he accepts because his existence depends on it. The being grants him the privileges and an illegible inscription is formed on his left arm plus a small box the size of the palm of his hand. Ray takes the box, shakes it and asks:

-What is it? It sounds like it has stones or marbles inside-

-It's a gift from them, of course I also put something of my own. They are starseeds, they are replicas on a smaller scale of the gods, each one has a specific attribute of each one of us. There are 5 in total: 2 from archetypal and 2 from primordial, and the last green seed I suggest you do not use it unless you think you are cornered.-

The seeds were of various colors that looked like gemstones

The being warned him that when he used them it would be an atrocious or phenomenal surprise what would happen to him.

-Mmmmm-

-Well, it would be nice to use the black one first and then the one you want the most-

-Why the black one? What does that specifically do? -

-That corresponds to me, hehehe-
